Report

I've been going every year since 2007. The main change for me is the openness of the drug taking. So much coke and not even trying to hide it. Also loads of groups enjoying a balloon or two.   It also feels busier since I started going. There are more traffic pinch points which might be to do with numbers or poor stage timings/allocations.   Don't think that the Glastonbury spirit/vibe has changed.

I'd say common sense definitely plays a part.   SZA may not have been a rousing success re: numbers this year, but the facts and figures backed her up as being big enough to the job in terms of data.   The miscalculation came in likely not being enough crossover to a typical Glastonbury audience, playing on a Sunday night and having several other big names top the stages against her.

The weather gods will not be happy

Do you think common sense has that much impact on the headliners that end up being chosen?    a lot of the time it feel very rogue - and then after it’s happened completely justified

Just unhinged, those bills. And for a reasonable price in the day, too.
